Strategic Planning Meeting
The minutes were included in the package for today's meeting. Wanted to be sure that everyone has had a chance to overlook them. How can we as a committee have an activity or goal to interface with the strategic plan.

Laurie reviewed the strategic plan and as to how this could be used as a tool.

One Day Event - Spring 2014
Laurie suggested that the committee consider a one-day event that is educational on how to do a safety self audit.
In the plant training - doing your own safety audit. Next step - have people volunteer to be auditors for safety audits
The target would be the people who are not doing the safety full time.
We need to consider the OSHA regs to do the in-the-plant training.
We can structure the basic elements and then as we walk thru we look for high risk and immediate need for corrections.
We could develop some additional supplemental forms to help them to identify areas that need improvement that may need outside help.
